MCHANISM FOR TRANSMITTING,MOTION.

Specification of Letters Patent.`

Patented Aug. 4, 1914.

Application filed April 5, 1913.` Serial No. 759,056.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I,"ORR1E B.` SHoREs, a

citizen of `the UnitedStates of American, anda resident of the city `of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, haveinvented certain` new and useful` Improvements in` Meehanism` for Transmitting Motion, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descrip-` tion, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forminga part of this speeification.

Myinvention relates to a mechanismfor` which lower and upperplatforms 3 andil respectively are secured.` The churn proper comprises a receptacle 5, removablyseated againstza bracket oni the platform; 3, and` secured thereto by anarm 6 pivoted at one end to a post 2. i The pivoted `arm 6 partially surrounds the receptacle 5 and is held in position by a pin 7 removablymounted in said arm and passing through a lug 8 on another post 2. l

The churn dasher consists of `a head `9 adapted to` reciprocate in the receptacle 5 and a stem 10 secured to said head.

The means for operating the idasher ,com-` prises a `motor 11 mounted on the base l and provided with a horizontalipower shaft 12 extending through the rear post 2 `and having a` pulley 18 on its` outer end.` A` horizontal transmission shaft `14, passingl throughbearings 15, onthe upper platform` 4 is provided with a drive pulley 16 onits outer end and a crank 17 onits inner end.

18 is a belt or llexible connection passing;

around the pulleys 13 and 16.

The crank 17 is provided with a pin;191

which extends `through a slot in a horizontal crosshead 20, the ends of the latter' being slidablylitted to guides at the upper ends of the front posts 2.` Rigid arms 21 extending laterally and converging `from the crosshead 20 are attached to a sleeve 22 and a coupling rod 23 is also secured to said sleeve. The coupling rod 23 and dasher `stem 10 are detaohably. connected together by means `of a pair of inwardly projecting yieldable latch ogs 24: attached to the coupling rod 23 and adapted to interlockwith a head 25 on the dasher stem. Y

Inthe practical use of my churn power is transmitted from the motor `11 to the crank shaft `14 through the medium of the flexible connectionor belt 18 and the crosshead 20 reciprocates 1 in response to rotary movements of the crank 17. The churn dasher is rigidly secured to the crosshead 20 so as to reciprocate inunison therewith.

In removing the `churn proper `from the platform 3 the pin 7 is withdrawn to release the churn holding arm 6 and the dasher` stem 10 is released from the coupling rod 23 i by disengaging the yieldable latch dogs 24:` from the head 25 at the upper end of `said stem. i

It will be noted that the crosshcad 20 is a very inexpensive device formed of sheet material which is weakened at its middle portion by the long horizontal slot. This flexible crosshead is very materially reinforced or prevented from bending at its ends, by means of the guides in the vertical posts 2, and the connecting arms 2l secured to the` upper and lower portions of sleeve 22, are connected totheend portions of theinex-` pensive flexible crosshead at points where the latter is reinforced bythe guidesl I claim:

A mechanism for transmitting motion comprising, a rotatable shaft, a crank `fixed to said shaft provided 'with a pin, a pair of y posts provided with vertical guides,\a cross head 2O the ends of which are slidably fitted to said guides, said cross head 2O being formed of a sheet of thinmaterial provided with a horizontal slot in which the pin of said crank operates,\a sleeve 22 adapted to receive a reciprocating member, and a pair of converging horizontal connecting arms one of which connects the upperzportion of said vsleeve to the upper portion of said points Where sad'connectng arms are secrss head near one end of the latter, the cured to the erosshead. v ot er connecting ro ycenstcucnoa connecl tion between the lowerporton osad sleeve v ORRIE B' SHORES' 5 and che opposite end 0f said cresshead, the g Inthe presence c )f-V sheet of; `thin,,material 'formingsad cross.
